Usage and Precautions (Read First!)

When using your new OBDX Pro device, please make sure to never leave it in wet or damp conditions to ensure the device is not damaged from water and moisture.

Please also do not leave the device plugged into your vehicle permanently as this can result in draining battery power, and also result in damaging the tool if a battery is left on very low power for an extended time.

The LED lights

The current range of OBDX Pro tools has 3 LED lights that display on the top.

  1. Power

    The LED labelled Power will light up once the tool has power from either the OBD2 port or from a USB cable.

  2. Status

    The LED labelled Status will flash blue when the tool has not yet communicated with a PC application or smartphone application. It will go solid blue if successful communication with a smartphone (No smartphone applications available yet).

  3. OBD

    The LED labelled OBD will only flash when the tool is communicating with an application or sending/receiving vehicle data.

When using OBDX Pro for programming any module in a vehicle, it is VERY important to ensure you have full battery charge and use a battery maintainer to ensure suitable voltage is maintained through the programming event.
